I've found a deep and real love for sewing and quilting! The only thing that I enjoy more is connecting with all of you about it!
I have become totally obsessed with our baby tortoises- so ridiculously cute!
I am a mom of 2 boys and wife to a great guy!
With my full time job, family and my love of crafting, I am pretty busy most of the time! Add Rheumatoid Arthritis, unfortunately, and you have Me! I try not to let it get me down, though I Do walk much like our tortoises, at times! haha

Old School Sewing Tool & Linky!

Do you ever come accross something and wonder what the heck it is!?

My husband found this tool at a thrift store years ago and didn't know exactly what it's purpose was. For $1 he decided to buy it and see. Fast forward several years and he came accross it again in some old stuff.This time he had Google handy and found out that they are Wooden Seam Rollers.That is great because as we were talking about it beforehand, I could only think that they would be useful to flatten seams and nest them nicely. Bonus!I am working on This Baby Quilt and taking time to get my seams right, so I will give this bad boy a go!Do you have any Whacky, Nifty, Sweet or Fun sewing tools, notions or decor!?The world would LOVE to see it, why not link up and share!?

I have a more modern one of plastic. It came in a wallpapering kit. You use it to smooth down the seams of wallpaper when hanging it. The curved one is better since it would keep you from pressing out too much of the paste.

As Patricia suggested, these were probably intended to roll wallpaper seams. I have one that I used to use for exactly that. But now I use it in the sewing room and it is wonderful! Great to flatten seams or for any job where I might otherwise finger press. Also great when foundation paper piecing to press a seam after a piece of fabric is added.

I truely enjoy your comments and questions and I answer every single one! =D Though, during giveaways it gets difficult and I try to keep it easy on myself. ;) However, if you are a no-reply blogger I can't -but I still try. =(If your not sure, ask me, I'll help you fix it!
